The Siege of Kiphox

Military action

The Dwarves of Daragon issued a formal decree of a grudge war for their birthright: the Great Fortress of Kiphox. For the first time in the two nations history, dwarven and human arms met on the field of combat. So much blood was spilled that it was said the river Kwell turned ruddy all the way to the city of Jathan. At the end of it all though, the mercantile military of Daragon had won their pyrrhic victory and had claimed the fortress for themselves again. This great battle would be called the Siege of Kiphox in the year 163 of the 3rd era. In vengeance, they expelled all humans young and old from the fortress much as they had been so long ago. The dwarves immediately set about replacing the exiled with cheap labor from former slaves with orcish and elvish strains of smithing and metalworking competing for grandeur. The great foundries were rebuilt but those who knew many of the formulas were humans themselves.
